QuickTime Player was a media playback application on Mac OS X for playing video, listening to audio files, and experiencing VR. QuickTune on the other hand, is a “mini player” for Apple Music on macOS with the look and feel of QuickTime. It brings all of QuickTime’s brushed metal textures, glassy buttons, and its utilitarian LCD display to modern macOS.
QuickTune was developed in Beaverton, Oregon in collaboration with Tuomas Hämäläinen in Copenhagen, Denmark.

New in 7.1, you can now select to use the Mac OS X Leopard theme for a more streamlined look and feel.
From brushed metal to the glass buttons to the classic LCD, QuickTune 7 faithfully replicates the look and feel of QuickTime 7. Graphite tinted windows come standard.
QuickTune's user interface adapts to the type of audio you're playing; whether it is a local file or streaming internet radio like Apple Music Hits. New in 7.2, track and provider information will show with animation in the LCD display below the artwork.
Open the available Inspector HUD to get additional details of the Now Playing track such as Genre, Year, Composers, and much more.
With QuickTune, you don’t have to bring up Apple Music to switch playlists. Simply open the available Playlists HUD and double-click a playlist start.
QuickTune's Dock icon conveniently provides track information, playback controls, and Snap Back; which allows you to jump back to the currently playing song and play source in Apple Music.
